Yuzu + Mint + Lime Mojito Cookies

These ultra- soft chewy sugar cookies are inspired by the fresh, minty Mojito cocktail. Refreshing, zesty, tangy lime mingles with sweet, fresh mint and citrusy floral yuzu chocolate. I was inspired by the basil sugar I made a while back to create a mint sugar. The fresh mint gets ground with white sugar to create a flavorful and very beautiful sugar! Once you make this mint sugar you’ll never go back to plain old sugar, it is absolutely gorgeous and versatile. The aroma itself is so inviting and lovely! The entire cookie is bursting with bright citrus flavor from the lime zest and yuzu chocolate. A final note on these cookies, be sure not to overbake them or else you’ll miss on that ultra-plush, soft chewy texture that makes these cookies unbelievably addictive.

Grapefruit, Yuzu + Campari Caramel Cookies

This cocktail inspired cookie is unlike anything else! Loads and loads of grapefruit zest is added to the cookie dough as well as shards of homemade Campari caramel. These cookies have a hint of smoky bitterness from the Campari and burnt sugar and the entire cookie is bursting with bright citrus flavor from the grapefruit zest and yuzu Valrhona feves. These guys are perfectly chewy and are so easy to devour. If you are familiar with orange crème center biscuits, these are like the grown up sophisticated version of them.
